[lug] Tell us how

[Jeffrey S. Haemer]

Anecdotally, I've had three of these in the past couple of weeks, all from
Yahoo! accounts, which were spamming the senders' address books.

I fell for the very first one, which took me somewhere obviously not
related to the message,  The (real) sender followed up, warning me not to
click on the link, because doing so would, in turn, spam my email list.
Since I had and it didn't, something in Linux/Chrome or Firefox/gmail is
immune.
